Get PDFOltre l’agricoltura: il carattere resiliente del paesaggio urbano simbiotico
No full textThe environmental and health crisis has challenged the role and potential of green space.
The bottom-up actions of re-appropriation of this space represent the incredible tenacity of citizens to create an urban environment that meets the new biophilic needs of closeness to nature, but also of social cohesion and urban resilience. The paper illustrates some European experiences in which, through the care of the environment expressed with an agricultural approach of permaculture and alternative cultivation, regenerative processes of both the urban and social fabric have been triggered
Adaptive by Nature
No full textIn light of the pressing realities posed by climate change, there is an increasingly urgent need to re-evaluate individual responsibilities, develop effective adaptive models, and establish governance frameworks
that are vital for our collective survival (Folke, 2006; Walker et al., 2004). At its core, adaptation signifies a decisive and necessary undertaking, allowing both natural organisms and human-made environments
to persevere and maintain their functionality in the face of external pressures (Adger et al., 2005). In this context, adaptation is not merely reactive but appears to be an intrinsic predisposition – a capacity seemingly endowed by nature itself. This perspective aligns with the view that biological and built systems possess inherent resilience, allowing them to adjust dynamically as challenges evolve (Berkes & Folke, 1998). Such an approach resonates with contemporary frameworks in design and sustainability, which emphasise the integration of adaptive and regenerative practices into planning and policy (Mang & Reed, 2020)
Agricoltura urbana indoor: dalla sperimentazione progettuale innovativa alla norma
Get PDFLa necessità di riconfigurare i modelli attuali di approvvigionamento per far fronte ai futuri scenari climatici e demografici ha spinto ricercatori ed investitori a sperimentare innovativi sistemi produttivi che hanno riconnesso la produzione agricola al luogo di consumo, ovvero le città. L’accelerazione tecnologica dell’ultimo decennio ha portato alla nascita di nuove architetture e metabolismi urbani che spesso si sono potute realizzare tra vuoti normativi e limiti normativi, dovuti all’obsolescenza di piani regolatori o regolamenti edilizi. Il paper traccia lo stato dell’arte dell’evoluzione dell’innovazione tecnologica e di come essa e il progetto abbiano riscritto le norme
“Agricultural factory”: industrial reuse for innovative production towards more sustainable cities
No full textThe tissue of cities is getting increasingly dense and compact, however, according to the current development models, the demand for living space per person, for industrial and commercial activities, for the transport infrastructure, requires more and more lands, often to the detriment of agricultural fields, that surround cities. The occupation of agricultural lands has significant impacts on the resilience of cities to the effects of climatic changes; in fact, permeable land and green areas play a fundamental role on the mitigation of climate (avoiding heat waves, floods) on the quality of life and on the ecosystems. The soil is a precious resource for the common weal, hence, the EU Commission is committed to reducing land (ab)use and aim to “no net land take by 2050” initiative, that would imply that all new urbanization will either occur on brownfields, used lands, ex-industrial buildings or that any new land used will need to be compensated by the reclamation of artificial land. Starting from those premises, the topic of this paper is addressed to show how is it possible to avoid new land use, re-using the industrial legacy to produce food more efficiently, to be more productive and to guarantee food safety through innovative indoor technology, such as hydroponic systems. By exploring and analyzing the experiences of different case studies, set in European and North American cities, I aim to investigate and illustrate, through some architectural projects, how “agricultural factories” can be considered a replicable sustainable model of urban regeneration to improve urban food production and city-life quality

NATURE-BASED REGENERATION. FIVE STORIES OF ARCHITECTURE THAT WILL CHANGE THE WORLD
No full textWhat if cities and architecture once again behaved like living organisms? Nature-Based Regeneration calls for a holistic, reflective, and site-specific design practice, extending from the construction detail to the neighbourhood, “from the spoon to the city.” It revives the grounded intelligence of vernacular architecture, attentive to climate, soils, water, and materials, and weaves it together with the social and cultural fabric of place. Embracing a more than human approach, it maps people and other species within the same space, addressing climate challenges through contemporary design tools.
Through five European stories - Barcelona, Copenhagen, Paris, Montpellier, and Rønde - the book proposes not static icons but living prototypes: green networks that stitch the city together, porous architectures that breathe, façades that become habitats, roof gardens, sponge courtyards, living soils, and blue and green infrastructures that make cities cooler, more livable, and regenerative.
The result is a clear and transferable method based on listening and co-design, in-situ testing, appropriate materials, and shared stewardship. The volume concludes with practical frameworks, including guidelines, key questions, and project sheets, offering public agencies, designers, and communities the tools to shape concrete, beautiful, and just interventions, starting from the knowledge already embedded in each place
